Taken care of large dogs (bathing, walking, feeding, brushing teeth) and cats (litter, feeding, playing) my whole life. I have taken care of neighbors and friends' pets 20+ times over the past ten years, including house sitting and stopping by. I've always loved connecting with dogs but prefer cats' temperament as a challenge. I'm working part time in Poughkeepsie but should be able to make it where needed thanks to my car. I don't mind driving long distances if that's what you need! I try to scout walks before I take dogs on them. I try to lead dogs with positive enforcement but am comfortable disciplining a dog if necessary. I find cats cannot be disciplined but I try to show them I am disappointed in them.
